GUT INSTINCT is an action-packed short story in Brad Taylor’s critically-acclaimed Pike Logan series. It is one that sets Pike and his partner Jennifer Cahill on a mission that will put their authority, careers, and innocent lives on the lines. Fans will also get an exclusive preview of Taylor’s hotly anticipated fourth Pike Logan novel, THE WIDOW’S STRIKE, coming July 16, 2013.

Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are still dealing with the after effects of a brutal mission with the Taskforce, a top secret counter-terrorist unit that operates outside the bounds of U.S. law. With his injuries on the mend, Pike is forced to let Jennifer take the lead when another Taskforce team calls on her for help. Jennifer’s mission is to spy on two women suspected of involvement in a terrorist plot, but the team leader won’t take her seriously when her Intel leads her in another direction. Butting heads with him costs them credibility, but Jennifer won’t let it go. Determined to uncover the true target, Pike must trust Jennifer’s instincts more than ever as they take matters into their own hands. Being wrong means risking their reputations and future with the Taskforce, but being right means averting a threat that nobody else can see. A threat that may be bigger than they can handle.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Brad was born on Okinawa, Japan, but grew up on 40-acres in rural
Texas. Graduating from the University of Texas, he was commissioned as a
second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Infantry. Brad served for more than
21 years, retiring as a Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel. During that
time he held numerous Infantry and Special Forces positions, including
eight years in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment –
Delta where he commanded multiple troops and a squadron. He has
conducted operations in support of US national interests in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and other classified locations.His final assignment was as the Assistant Professor of Military
Science at The Citadel in Charleston, SC. He holds a Master’s of
Science in Defense Analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School, with a
concentration in Irregular Warfare. When not writing, he serves as a
security consultant on asymmetric threats for various agencies. He
lives in Charleston, SC with his wife and two daughters.

Taylor has made a seamless transition from a military commander in the elite Delta Force to bestselling author, drawing from his experience in the combat fields to write authentic and genuine story lines. He has received much praise for his works of fiction. Publishers Weekly has proclaimed, “The high violence level and authentic military action put Taylor, a retired Delta Force officer, solidly in the ranks of such authors as Brad Thor and Vince Flynn.”

I can't believe that I've never read any of Brad's novels, but as a retired Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel he has to have the knowledge to bring a good terrorist based novel to life. I am very interested in reading this book so thanks for the opportunity.

I am not familiar with any of these Pike Logan stories either. They look like something I like to pick up once in a while, similar to the Vince Flynn books. Thanks for the intro and chance to win!JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
